What's up in the Neighborhood
Among the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: starting -- and raising -- a family in the city, the place you aren't from, paved lawns, Margie's in Troy, rum from Albany Distilling Co., a scotch dinner, guerilla poutine, 51 Front, free bread, April 1 supermarket trolling, porch envy, champions, Gwen Stefani, polo, and Boscoving.
Nicole thought about whether the city of Albany as both "the place to start a family" and "the place to raise a family."

Crossposted from Mr. Dave's blog, regarding the "guerilla poutine":
From experience of making my own "guerilla poutine" - though with much less homemade ingredient - Five Guys fries are THE PERFECT fry to use in such a situation. They are extremely salty though, so you may want to factor that in when preparing the delicious brown sauce (which, in Montreal, is where the majority of the salt content rests.)
